Nursing homes across Ingham County, Michigan, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Ingham County Medical Care Facility is a county-owned home in Okemos with 236 certified beds, and its staffing is the standout: 5.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, which is common but still worth knowing if you're visiting Saturday or Sunday. Annual turnover sits at 37.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses here tend to stick around longer than average. The caution is the inspection record, 63 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and nine abuse-related, with a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 despite quality and staffing each earning top marks.
The Willows At Okemos runs a tight ship on staffing: 3.99 nurse hours per resident day puts it just above the national average, and a 32.8% turnover rate is meaningfully better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. Weekend coverage drops about 7% from weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record is a mixed bag, 22 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though nothing abuse-related and the most recent inspection was April 2026. The low turnover and 4-out-of-5 inspection rating suggest a home that's generally managed well, with one incident worth asking about directly.
Medilodge of Okemos runs on 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and that staffing holds up across all three CMS ratings at 4 out of 5. The caveat is the weekend: coverage drops about 17% below what the building runs Monday through Friday, so a Saturday fall gets a thinner response than a Tuesday one. Turnover sits at 41.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning two in five caregivers were new within the year. The 22 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. The last inspection was September 2025.
Holt Senior Care and Rehab Center runs 101 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is steadier than most. Nurse coverage sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, just above the national average, and weekend staffing dips only about 9% below weekdays, a smaller drop than many homes show. Annual turnover of 21.8% is less than half the national rate of 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. State surveyors last visited in April 2026, so that record is recent, not stale.
Medilodge Of Campus Area runs 102 beds in East Lansing under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average, 3.88 hours per resident day against 3.86 nationwide. That headline number hides a real gap, though: weekends run about 17 percent thinner than weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday won't match a Tuesday. Staff turnover is 45.8 percent, identical to the national figure, which tells you retention here is neither better nor worse than the typical home. The record shows 42 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in April 2026.
Medilodge of East Lansing runs 99 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its strongest suit is raw nurse staffing: 4.94 hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average. But weekends drop about 18% below its own weekday level, so the coverage your relative gets depends heavily on the calendar. Staff turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially the national average of 45.8%, not a crisis, not stability either. The inspection record is where things get concerning: 38 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection on January 9, 2026. Quality measures score well, but the recent inspection and deficiency count carry more weight.
Aria Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 110 certified beds in Lansing, and the staffing numbers are thinner than they look at first glance. Total nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 17% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the days families visit most are the days with the least staff on hand. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 63 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, seven tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $75,834, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. Corporate ownership and a one-star health inspection rating round out a picture where the quality measure score doesn't tell the whole story.
Burcham Hills runs on more nursing hours than most places, about 4.49 per resident per day against a national average near 3.86, but those hours thin out on weekends and the staff doing them turn over at 65.9% a year, well above the 45.8% norm. The inspection record is where the trouble concentrates: 53 deficiencies, seven serious enough to put residents in harm's way, five tied to abuse, and a $37,557 fine, with the most recent look coming in May 2025. A nonprofit corporation owns the 133-bed building. Strong bedside hours can't outweigh that kind of citation history, especially when the people providing the care keep leaving.
Medilodge of Capital Area runs 120 beds in Lansing under corporate ownership, and its last inspection was recent enough that the record should reflect current conditions. What that record shows is a long list: 51 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. Staffing sits at 3.82 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 58.1% is well above the 45.8% national average, which matters more than the staffing star suggests, consistent caregivers know residents. One fine totaling $22,710 is on file.
